Mlle society was held at the Pilgrim
Baptist church last Monday evening
with a fair attendance. After the
routine business was concluded Mr.. j.
II. Hickman read a paper on the Liter.
airy Organizations of st. Paul, which was
fullo pleasing "reminiscences, Mr.. w.
Bloom followed with an essay on the
religion of our fore fathers IN which he
gave evidence Of research and thought,
he was followed by Mr.. B. "A. Lewis, who
read paper on emigration which was
full OF interest for all. The papers were
well WrittenWell read and well received
by the audience. The representative of
the APPEAL has attended several meet
ings of the Mite Society and on each
occasion was mortified OH account of the
lack OF courtesy on tie part of number
of persons in the audience, who during
the exercises keep up a continual strain
OF absolutely boisterous conversation,
very much to their discredit and to the
discomfort and disgust of other portions
Of the audience who wish to hear and
be benefited by what is said. Were
these offenders from the low, degraded
portion Of our population, they would not
be allowed to remain in the church upon
such occasions; but when they are
known to be representatives of
what is considered to be our best social
circles, they deserve the greater con-
demnation. A certain amount of re-
peet should be shownsby people who at
tend any meeting and especially when
held in church. One of the objects Of
the society is to furnish pleasant acca-
slons and all should endeavor to be-
have in such manner as not to bring
discredit upon themselves. It is true
that the rebukes administered by u,em-
bers OF the organization were quite per-
sonal and severe but they were desery-
ed. We hope that in the future
our young ladies and gentlemen will be
such IN reality and set good examples in
department for those OF us who do not
know howto behave properly IN public.

case Of war with foreign nations.
Resolved, That while organization is
the way to utilize strength, we deem it
impracticable to attempt national or
ganization ofcolored people to work po-
litically, but rather favor the commence
.ment of local Organizations adapted to
the peculiar circumstances of places and
people.
Resolved, That the work done by the
colored press has been Of incalculable
value by placing the colored man in a
more just light before the world, and in
many instances biased representatives
of unprincipled journalists.
Resolved, That we recommend the
Establishment of national bureau of
Information to ascertain the extent and
nature Of lawlessness and mob violence
against colored men and adopt means

For several weeks the friends and
well Wishers of Pilgrim Baptist church
have been engaged in selling tickets for

ment to be given for the benefit o.. the

tickets is to be awarded fine buggy.
On next Friday evening the entertain
ment will take place at the church under

'cgsion eclipse all former efforts in the

sented to the proper person and then
all present may partake of the good
things that will be prepared by the re-
freshment committee. The contest for

of Music of Oberlin College has kindly
consented to assist on the occasion. Ex-
ercises begin promptly at eight o'clock.

A correspondent to the Chicago Con-
servator writing en- the "color line"
seems to think it is because colored
men do not apply for places that they
do not get them, but that is mistake,
colored men are constantly making APP
plications for places, but without success,
There haye been several instances in
this city where celored men have ans
wered advertisements and been re-
quested to call at the advertisers place
of business, but when they put in their
appearance they would be put off with
some lying excuse. And when he does
get a place he seldom gets promotion,
but he is kept in the same place he
starts in. The correspondent doubtless
means well, but he certainly does not
know anything about the trouble, trials
and tribulations thata young colored man
has to undergo in endeavoring to get the
oommonest clerkship in mercantile
circles. There are very few white men
who have the nerve and back bone to
employ colored clerk in opposition to
the wishes of his other employees, and
when they begin to put on airs they at
once give in and the obnoxious man and
brother is discharged. Ifthe heads of
business firms would not look at the
color of the applicants but only at their
qualifications and when they happened
to- get colored man or woman
would give him Or her his support there
would be thousands of applications
from colored people where not dozen
are now made.

Ia Brief, And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one Of the most complicated and won-
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people SO healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remembsr:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness TO the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-fve cents.

The Story Lacks Confirmation.

Yesterday morning at 1 :35 o'clock,
captain Of police Ct. W. Rucker, of
Astoria, deposited a deserter from
the United States army named Frank
Crissman in the city Jail, pending his
removal to tho Vancouver barracks
The story goes that in the afternoon
the captain took his man ont OF prison
to proceed to Vancouver, stopping at
the Esmond hotel en- route, where he
in the goodness of his heart asked
Crissman to take a drink, which, of
course, the latter did not decline.
After they had disposed Of their
drink and were yet standing at the
counter OF the barroom, the captain
said to Crissman, You stay here till
/ see the clerk; I'll be back in a
moment" Certainly" answered the
prisoner. The officers back was
scarcely turned before Crissman
availed himself of the opportunity to
skip" The CONSERVATION of captain
Rucker beggars description when he
found that his confidence had been
misplaced. The officer returned to
the police station inviting the aid OF
the local force, but at last accounts
Crissman was still roaming the
country.-Telegranl, 19.
The above is probably overdrawn.
The Vancouver Independent of the
Goth, says:
Frank Chrisman, deserter from
the 14th Infantry, who was arrested
at Astoria, was brought to Vancouver
Barracks on Monday. His next de.
tail will embrace tour at Alcatraz.'
